says the New York Herald. One

flowers that grew by the myriads In

wing of a mother hen.
Not only do women wear violets
on hats, in bodices and belts; they
have bunches fastened to their muffs,
and when they are raised toward the
face they soften the brilliancy of the
complexion and serve to make more
attractive those who would other-
wise pass unnoticed.

As to Wedding Present.
It is a surprise to note that a j
question has arisen it Camden, N.
J., as to whether wedding presents j
belong to the bride or groom. Cam-
den is near New York, and in Now
York bride generally owns
everything and the groom
gets what he can induce her to give
him. Aside from that, however,
there should be no question ii, In
wedding presents. They are given
to the bride and the groom gets
her. If he cannot keep her, how
can he expect to keep the presents
In the Camden case the groom
was unable to keep the bride, and
she took presents with her when
she left. He has begun suit to re-
cover them, but not to recover her.
In fact, he plainly intimates that he
does not want her. It is doubtful if
he has good grounds for his action.
He got them with her; can he
separate them now They were all
drawn as one prize in
lottery. Can he discard her
part of that prize and keep the rest
It seems only seasonable to suppose
that ho must keep all or nothing.

man does like Intellectual sympathy.
The most conservative man's ideal of

be charming; that she should please,
there is something absurd in the
notion that education will interfere
with this ideal. But a girl's

home circle. She may a greater

famous through discovery.
The study and practical care of the
the needs and comforts of a

highest and grandest opportunity
yet afforded to woman. The worM
